Can I encourage you to post more about your experiences, especially
that "next post" about the card setup? I have a feeling that I'll be
your first regular on that blog.

I was happy to see your recommendation about the text-based install.
That was my intention, as I've never like graphical installations for
some reason. I even prefer yum to pirut for some strange reason. I
feel that there is less hidden magic, and more concrete facts about
text-based configuration/updating/installations.
